Life For A Life Memorial Forests and Gardens plants trees in memory of people and/or events in woodland locations across the United Kingdom.
The Charity has 54 managed memorial forests throughout the UK which provide outdoor community spaces and has so far donated over £1.6 million to health-related organisations, assisted with the concept, design and installation of 15 permanent community memorials, working with many schools and community groups in conservation, protection, and environmental improvement activities.
The Charity’s objectives are:
o To relieve the mental, physical, and spiritual distress of people suffering from bereavement or loss, particularly through the provision of memorial forests and gardens in memory of their loved ones.
o To promote the conservation, protection, and improvement of the physical and natural environment by the creation of such forests and gardens, and
o The relief of sickness and suffering internationally by the provision of grants and/or equipment to other charities, hospitals, and hospices.
ln meeting these objectives, Life for a Life provides:
o A place to remember and scatter the ashes if required of a loved one.
o Woodlands for all to enjoy.
o Environmental and community engagement programmes.
o Donations to support local and national health related organisations, and
o Conservation, protection, and environmental improvement activities.
As more trees are dedicated to loved ones, Life For A Life is looking for more land to continue its work - if you are a landowner or know someone who may want to donate land to the Charity, please get in touch .
